I can make anybody pretty
I can make you believe any lie
I can make you pick a fight
With somebody twice your size
Well I've been known to cause a few breakups
And I've been known to cause a few births
Well I can make you new friends
Or get you fired from work

And since the day I left Milwaukee
Lynchburg and Bordeaux, France
I've been making the bars lots of big money
And helping white people dance

Yeah I got you in trouble in high school
But college now that was a ball
You had some of the best times
You'll never remember with me
Alcohol
Alcohol
I'm blamed at your wedding reception
For your best man's embarrassing speech
And also for those naked pictures of you at the beach

I've influenced kings and world leaders
I helped Hemingway write like he did
And I'll bet you a drink or two that I can make you
Put that lampshade on your head

'Cause since the day I left Milwaukee
Lynchburg and Bordeaux, France
I've been making a fool out of folks just like you
And helping white people dance

I am medicine and I am poison
I can help you up or make you fall
You had some of the best times
You'll never remember with me
